Because the police, of course, is much too busy for this kind of work.

Anno 2015 is to ‘delegate’ the magic word, as also in police work. For simple law enforcement are already times city guards and private security guards are responsible, in addition to a mobile flitskassa put you are not expensive and well-trained agent but a BOA, highways inspectors to get a coupon book, if you’re up against someone crashes, there will be no agent more to show up, and if your car is stolen, you do indeed file a report with the police, but the detection of them, so does someone else but nice.

Ok, for the discovery of a gang uncle Agent, but still behind his desk come from, but individual hot self-tracking, that can be a specialized company the best. And sitting there, so later this year in the East of the Netherlands, an experiment was started.

Less and less thefts solved

Where in 1995 some 70% of the cars was found, this is 20 years and the accession of half of Eastern Europe and the Balticum to the EU) later, still only 40%, according to the foundation for Tackling vehicle crime in the Radio 1 news. We quote:

If a stolen car is detected by a camera along the way, there is a message to the police. That checks in a database whether the details are correct. When the police don’t have the time to get behind the car, is a privately owned civil uxo turned on, which the car follows and monitors.

That is also as far as the power of the private sleuths presents, on hold, the police still have a monopoly. Remains 1 important question unanswered: who pays the bill of these security companies?
